Bikes!
TWO-WHEEL EVENTS—Despite the contentious reputation of the annual drink-and-roll Freedom Ride  there’s not too many activities more American and freeing than riding your bike. We encourage it on Friday, weather it’s with the thousands of two-wheel aficionados on the downtown ride or in either of the two Anti-Freedom Ride rides organized for longer more specious stretches of town. All day. Check Facebook for details of underground organized bike rides. Wear red, white and blue. FREE.
